What a fitting day to celebrate Danny Davis’ third love which is part of the Danny Davis Favorite Things Series that Lat34.com has been so proud to be part of. It’s appropriate because today is February 14th, also known as Valentine’s Day and one of my favorite things (or people) was the great WWF wrestler, Greg “The Hammer” Valentine of the 1980’s and 90’s. Do not to get confused with the Texas politician Tom “The Hammer” Delay who was recently on DANCING WITH THE STARS, although his dance moves were pretty mesmerizing.
But in addition to The Hammer Valentine being one of my favorite people, skating too is one of my favorite activities and skateboarding is today’s favorite thing by Danny Davis! My favorite thing isn’t exactly skateboarding, but rather the ROLLER VERSION of skating, but nonetheless, it’s still in relationship to Danny’s street skillz.
So today, we are presenting to you the third video in Danny’s Favorite Things series and in this clip, Danny talks about how the pressures of competitive snowboarding can be eased by other sports like skateboarding, which doesn’t require any expected level of prowess. He can just skate in his own world where he can be free and learn tricks at his own pace. Check it out…

My day to day grind consists of being a manager at Culver’s and attending college for my bachelors degree in business administration. To ease any stress I love to play basketball. Whether I am just shooting hoops or playing a game with my friends, it definately takes my mind off of any stresses from work and school.

After several different college paths that keep leading me further away from my dream of working in the action sports industry, Just to find out that I lost my job, and only form of income, which has lead to being stuck in my parents basement, with a new long list of items to check off before moving out..Im not sure if i would call this a sport, but my only solution besides snowboarding, would be my taking my bull mastiff Drama out for an adventure through the woods. Just the two of us.
